Neville Goddard on Ezekiel 29:5-6 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Ezekiel 29 in context

Scripture Focus

5And I will leave thee thrown into the wilderness, thee and all the fish of thy rivers: thou shalt fall upon the open fields; thou shalt not be brought together, nor gathered: I have given thee for meat to the beasts of the field and to the fowls of the heaven.

6And all the inhabitants of Egypt shall know that I am the LORD, because they have been a staff of reed to the house of Israel.

Ezekiel 29:5-6

Biblical Context

The verses describe God casting Israel into a wilderness, breaking apart their external ties, and signaling that Egypts strength is a fragile staff. It points to exile as a precursor to return and the need to recognize the LORD as the true sustainer.

Neville's Inner Vision

In this text the wilderness is a state of consciousness where the mind has discarded false supports. The fish of the rivers and scattered people symbolize thoughts fed by dependent identities — Egyptian staffs that fail before the truth of I AM. When God says I will leave you in the wilderness, He is presenting a technique: notice where your sense of security rests outside your own consciousness. The staff of reed represents a tiny belief that your identity or future depends on something weaker than the I AM. If you refuse to gather or hoard, you become teachable, and the awareness of God becomes your only gathering force. The claim that all Egypt will know I am the LORD awakens the inner observer: allowing others to see power outside yourself reveals the illusion of external protection. In Neville terms, exile becomes instruction: imagine and feel that you are the I AM, free from the world, and watch your reality rearrange to match that inner truth.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and assume the feeling that you are the I AM, standing sovereign in inner wilderness; revise the belief that worldly supports define you and let inner sovereignty shape your life.
